The 9th annual FltPlan.com user survey recognizes top U.S. Fixed Base Operators (FBOs) that provide arrival and departure services at more than 5,000 airports.

It’s easy to see why Leesburg is rapidly becoming the destination of choice for private jet travelers in the DC Metro Region.

LEESBURG, Va. (PRWEB)January 14, 2019

ProJet Aviation received national recognition for flight support (FBO) services at Leesburg Executive Airport in the FltPlan.com 2018 Pilots' Choice Awards, achieving a #3 ranking in the competitive Northeast Region. ProJet also ranked #26 in the nation and climbed three spots to #12 in the country for airports of similar size and traffic volume. Leesburg Executive is the closest general aviation jet airport to Washington DC, the Dulles Technology Corridor, and Virginia's growing horse and wine country.

The rankings reflect the results of the ninth annual survey of FltPlan's 160,000-plus active, registered users, most of whom fly multiple weekly trips.

"Leesburg Executive Airport is the gateway for businesses and visitors from around the world to Leesburg and Loudoun County, and an important engine for the regional economy. The airport's reputation for excellence is paramount to its success, and ProJet delivers excellent services every single day," said Leesburg Mayor Kelly Burk.

ProJet has ranked highly in the awards every year since becoming the FBO operator at Leesburg Executive (KJYO), and 2018 marks the third year in a row that the company has received a top ranking nationally.

"We work hard to establish extraordinary relationships with our clients, whether they are based at Leesburg or coming to our region for a visit. We are a hospitality company first, and our team loves to help people have a memorable experience. People respond to that type of service." said Julie O’Brien, ProJet Aviation's General Manager. “It’s easy to see why Leesburg is rapidly becoming the destination of choice for private jet travelers in the DC Metro Region.”
